Great to be at the Big Computing Leadership Conference working alongside #AQA

New member of the NatMatSci community - looking forwards to unboxing and turning on later…

@GrumpyCompSci Acutally a for/else loop…. With the else working if the loop terminates (runs) normally — doesn’t need the if bit. Python does have some ‘interesting’ bits :-)

@pddring @MrWillisICT The TES article talks about an IDE - so maybe live programming ??

Excited to be at @Raspberry_Pi HQ for a development day.

Enjoying setting up our Quest 3’s with Tim. Installed human anatomy vr software ready for our medic students to use.

Thanks @pimoroni - looking forwards to testing out the new Raspberry Pi.

@CompSciOxford If only the system was working - keeps locking students and then not showing questions. Then the telephone numbers provided just auto-disconnect.... @UniofOxford

Testing out a vivi box @ViviEducation to compare with ditto @TryDitto - screen sharing / digital signage with the idea to allow easy screen sharing from both staff and student devices

Have talked about this during my recent presentation for ATM @ATMMathematics great to see our STEM communication project gained this award.

Was great to present at the @ATMMathematics virtual conference discussing how mathematics can be seen in Computer Science NEA, EPQs and also our @natmatsci STEM commmnication project.

@MrAColley Jupyter notebooks and then just uploaded to a Teams assignment (not sure we can run in OneNote - will try). I’ve not looked at unit testing yet but having asked students to complete a subroutine I have put testing statements for them to use and check against before submitting

So student wants to build a sleep tracker…. So exploring ANT protocol and heart rate monitor. Always learning :-)

Thanks to @daveyweston for virtually training us today at @natmatsci on @edpuzzle - will continue to explore what this tool can offer in terms of encouraging our students to engage with video and enhance how they learn from it.

@CompSci_HoD Interesting to think what needs to change…. Is it what we teach? Is it the conditions? Is it the pay? I’m still trying to inspire students about our great subject - 25 years in

When you try to consider the question does year affect CO2 emission to find you big data only contains cars from 2002…. At least the students could answer the question ‘what does our plot show?’ Part of NatMatSci’s STEM communication program.

Student has purchased a lovely old IBM laptop to see if we can get working - Y2K compliant and great keyboard mechanism

Enjoying playing with some loan #Fortinet hardware as we consider changing our college setup.

@Gripweed1 If not done already get student to prepare a proposal identifying the skills they are looking to show in their game (algorithms / data structures / etc). Seen many good games without databases - but still see centres get students to bolt on a DB to a game asfeel it’s necessary
